Inside The Manufacture: A Look At Piaget's Geneva Headquarters
A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of visiting Piaget's headquarters on the outskirts of Geneva. While Piaget's movements are still made out in La Côte-aux-Fées, all other operations from design to casing to bracelet making to gem setting are done right here. Today we bring you a tour in photographs through this amazing facility. Roll-over each photograph for a brief description of what you are seeing. Enjoy! 2 OF 25 Entering Piaget's modern Geneva headquarters 3 OF 25 Sketch of the Polo 45 next to a 3D model of the same watch 4 OF 25 Specialized, in-house tools for shaping cases 5 OF 25 Raw bars and rods of various types of gold, used to produce case and bracelet components 6 OF 25 A single bracelet link projected onto a screen for tolerance inspection 7 OF 25 CNC machines can work a bracelet link on 5 axes, while operations on a 6th axis must be completed by hand 8 OF 25 Tool

Would anyone here wear this?
Can't make my mind up...It's a keybolt compressor style quartz Seamaster, apparently, I have been informed from another watch forum. It's the only vintage watch I have (well, it's my dad's), and it has an Omega 1342 which is a pre Swatch Group calibre. it's in for a service at the moment but I think my dad may be planning to sell it; he wants a Rolex and I think this watch is in the firing line. Should I try to stop him? It's his to sell of course, but I may be able to sway him if I can convince him (and myself) that it is cool enough. To me it's a lovely dresswatch (I don't own a dresswatch) and a piece of Omega history but I'm also happy for him if he gets that Submariner he wants. What to do...

A little help please.
Hi everyone. Time for a new Pam and I'm having trouble deciding. 42mm is the size for me and I already had a 392. I like both the 523 and 535. Really like the steap and the dial on the 535 but GMT feature is not a big deal for me. I like the thought of a white dial on the 523 because all my other watches are black dials. Straps dont really matter because I can always change those up. Thoughts?

Is the PAM 380 still in production?
if no, when was it discontinued?

Why do you need your watch to tell you the date?
Just curious as i can easily remember dates and even if I couldn't I can whip out my handy dandy smart phone. So... for those who say they must have a watch with the date... why is that?
